Not that I think it's likely, but I think that would be a solid choice nonetheless - he has done some excellent movies, no question. Apollo 13, for example, I would consider to even be a masterpiece.
Who should now direct ST3?
- Thread starter Khan 2.0
- Start date

Howard would be a great choice but he's going to do Inferno (Da Vinci 3) for 2016
yes Wild Card now includes Frakes so maybe thats why

Rewatched Captain America 1 the other night first time since saw it in theatres and enjoyed it more than back then. Anyway maybe Joe Johnson could be a decent choice for Trek3? (also did Rocketeer, JP3, Wolfman remake and worked on the FX for StarWarsOT/Indy, he was also one of the names rumoured for Episode 7) maybe he could bring a kind of futuristic retro vibe as with Rocketeer/Cap America/SW that would be befitting of the 50th anniversary
That's true, Khan!
As for Joe... I've only seen CA1 and JP3, but I'm really not a fan of either of them. CA1 has a solid enough heart, but feels off somehow, like everything sans a handful of scenes is incredibly by-the-numbers. I think the production was going for that to a point but the finished product is really, really average. I love the setting, but man. Maybe it's more the script's fault, though, I don't know.
JP3... a lot of people say "at least it's better than 2" but that movie killed my childhood love of the franchise for over a decade.

It gets confusing after a while. Quite a few regular cast actors went on to direct episodes. Enterprise wise, it was Roxann Dawson a few times. Maybe it was Robert Duncan McNeil who came to mind, who followed in that Frakes-mould of going to Paramount Director's school. Then you'd see their name credited on other TV shows.
Hard to see Jonathan doing it now somehow. But he's in great company of not likely to be auteur, because of the kind of obscene amounts of money involved.

Of those, Wyatt would be my first hope.
This sure throws a wrench in all that Para Malevolence hogwash, though, regardless.
Now to tap my feet together thrice in hopes that CBS really is prepping TV projects despite that.

I am curious how Para Moobs will spin this....
"Absolutely disgusting -- but not unexpected -- of Paramount to hear my scoop leak and go forward with a third movie despite plans to cancel it simply to paint me in a negative light. Even still, I did everything in my power to inform people this might happen, but not a single fingertip picked up on my reports and took them to my keyboard. It figures."

The golden opportunity for TNG characters appearing in the reboots was missed in the first film. Logistics involved with getting all of them aside, Spock Prime's mind meld with nuKirk would have been the ideal opportunity to show Picard, Worf, Data and Geordi in the flashbacks to how Spock got a hold of the Jellyfish (as portrayed in Star Trek Countdown. It would have been a wonderful and subtle easter egg for the fans and probably largely unnoticed by Joe Q. Moviegoer and easily explained away by having Spock Prime simply indicating he "gathered the best help I could find" to solve the crisis before being thrown back in time.
As for now, I'm perfectly content leaving the prime universe behind. My Blu-Rays, books, Netflix streaming and comics have not been redacted or suppressed; let's see the new adventures in this timeline.

He didn't direct Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, he was replaced by Matt Reeves, who by all accounts will be helming the third instalment.
